    "Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong we will not be investigating this " That was the NSAC's response. BUT?
    If they didn't investigate it how do they know he was innocent ????????????????????????They'd probably say
    " He was innocent because we say he was end of story " !!

    Bull Feces !! Floyd had to cheat to fight him as we all know about IV gate!! PLUS Pac was sabotaged when the NSAC refused him his previously agreed to Toradol shot for pain from his torn rotator cuff, so that the fight could go on
    Floyd was facing an injured opponent , having Cheated along the way, yet STILL did not clearly beat him. If Pac had been 100% he would have beaten the bejabbers out of him. You really DKSAB do you

    If Ali was around today, forum dwellers would have called Foreman "green", and that Leonard was robbed in the first fight.

    When all is said and done Mayweather beat at least half a dozen guys who will end up in the HOF

    Is this like Tyson who has an 18 month "prime" and everything else has to be dismissed?

    When was Floyds prime btw?

    Duran at 19 was the 6th ranked featherweight in the world.

    Didn’t word it how I would but agree on conclusion. To be fair I have both DLH and Mosley beating both Pac and Floyd at WW just because of size alone. Pac and Floyd could have really stayed at 135 or 140 their whole career.

    The money stat is one of the most ridiculous claims to bring up because it doesn't account for the revenue generation mechanisms available in the past & incomes of people around the world (which have gone up dramatically over the last century)

    If Ali, Tyson, Dempsey, & Marciano all had TV & PPV available to them, they would have dwarfed whatever Floyd made. Ali & Tyson were/are so much bigger & transcended Boxing. Mike Tyson is still the most popular Boxer to the general public 40 years after his peak while people were ignoring Floyd & flocking straight to AJ in some UK meet & greet

    If Tyson, Ali, Dempsey, & Marciano were fighting today as HW's I can easily see all of them crossing 2 billion $ in career earnings

    Also, to be fair, Manny and Floyd wouldnt have raced to 147 to fight prime Mosley and DLH. They wouldve stayed at 135 and 140 and dominated those divisions.

    Manny and Floyd were opportunists and came out on top against every "name" opponent even if they were faded.

    When Mosley was Lightweight champion of the world an undefeated fighter and close to the top fighter in the world pound for pound, Floyd challenged him and Mosley cried off saying he had a toothache. The way Floyd beat the living daylights out of Mosley who had arguably his best career win in his previous fight against Margarito speaks volumes.
